{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}As the world prepares to see Daniel Craig’s final outing as James Bond in "No Time To Die," it’s been announced that the actor will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame alongside a fellow 007 actor.
On Oct. 6, two days ahead of the release of "No Time To Die" following months of delays brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, Craig will be honored as the 2,704th celebrity to get a star on the Walk of Fame. What’s more, he’ll have some prime real estate for Bond fans. His star will be located right next to Roger Moore’s.
Moore played James Bond in seven movies from 1973 to 1985.

As if that weren't enough of a wink to fans of the Bond franchise, Anna Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame, noted in a press release that the stars are appropriately located at 7007 Hollywood Boulevard. Fans who want to see the two spy titans’ stars should have no difficulty remembering that.
"Daniel Craig is a British cultural icon as is James Bond, the man he has portrayed in five 007 films," Martinez said.
